    Bidding for Olympic and Paralympic Games, a Tool for Transportation Investments and Tourism? The Case of Istanbul
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Bas, Ahmet; Delaplace, Marie
    Since the start of the modern Olympic Games, and more recently the Paralympic Games, urban development linked to this mega-event has changed: the mono-stadium model typical of the early modern Games has been replaced by the model of an Olympic district. Because the events take place across multiple sites, the Games are often associated with investments in transportation. The paper aims to explore how, even in the case of a failed bid to stage the Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPGs), bidding for the Games can give rise to urban developments. In particular, bidding to host the Games can contribute to the reinforcement of transportation infrastructure. This study draws upon the case of the Istanbul bid. The Istanbul case is analyzed from the perspective of the bidding process before and after the reference to the Olympic Committee. The study examines the changes in the capacity of the transportation and tourist infrastructure through the official reports, statistics and annuals, as well as related literature. The case shows how bidding for big events such as the OPGs can drive investment and directly or indirectly impact economic activities, in particular in the tourism sector, whatever the result of the bidding process.

    Social and Spatial Equity/Equality in Relation to High-Speed Trains: Lessons From Turkey's High-Speed Train Experience
    (Sage Publications inc, 2023) Bas, Ahmet; Delaplace, Marie
    In the twentieth century, high-speed trains (HSTs) were added to the choice of transportation modes in Japan and Europe, and in the twenty-first century HST networks in developing countries have been advanced. It is planned to enhance these networks further in the future. Developing countries are characterized by income inequalities and, thus, it is important to find out who uses HSTs. If they are only viable in the wealthiest regions, then this mode of transportation will induce spatial inequity. If HST travel is too expensive, then HSTs will induce social inequity. Numerous studies have explored the relationship between HSTs and equity, but they have mostly covered economically developed countries, with only a few studies being carried out in economically developing countries apart from China. As such, the aim of this article is to fill the gap in the literature by analyzing the case of Turkey's HSTs. The study presents a review of the literature pertaining to HSTs and the issue of equity, then uses Turkey's socioeconomic development index to make comparisons of HST service accessibility according to different social groups, ages, and occupations. Ticket price and accessibility indicators are used to work out how HSTs can be a tool for reducing accessibility inequalities. The results indicate that HSTs do not necessarily reinforce the existing accessibility inequalities in Turkey, but can be a tool for improving equity in three ways: their ticket pricing policy; their considerable range, in that they serve numerous cities all over the country; and the way they are used in relation to different groups.

    Impact of High Speed Railway Systems on Inter-Regional Trips and Accessibility in Turkey
    (Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture itudergisi@itu.edu.tr, 2020) Baş, Ahmet; Yüzer, Mehmet Ali
    High-speed trains are faster, safer, more comfortable than road transport for trips of 250–1000 kilometers. Accordingly, a significant increase has been observed in inter-city railway transport following the construction of high-speed railway (HSR) connections. The present study shows the effects of HSR on accessibility and potential savings in time when compared to other transportation modes. The time saved by HSR systems has been shown to change purpose trip. The level of accessibility provided by the HSR between Konya–Ankara–Istanbul link is compared with the accessibility of other travel modes through an investigation of the weighted average travel times and an analysis of costs. Furthermore, data gathered from a field study carried out among users of the Konya-Ankara HSR link is used to identify the distribution of travel choices among different transportation modes, based on such social and economic indicators as income, car ownership and employment status. It is found that HSR service increases accessibility between cities, and changes travel demands and purpose, in favor of railways, and that economic factors such as income and car ownership are important in the use of HSR services. Finally, this research identifies social and cultural activities as a new reason for travel, in which users diversify their travel destinations because of the time savings offered by HSR systems. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
